[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 92
When Wen Liang first heard about this, it happened to be in front of Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi was in a good mood, and he pulled Wen Liang to look at the calligraphy he wrote a few days ago. Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of being overjoyed, and he didn't mind others saying something good or bad.Wen Liang always said one thing and another, and Emperor Kangxi couldn't stop nodding, and even dragged Wen Liang to write and paint for a long time.
Wen Liang is not familiar with painting, but he often practice calligraphy.Since Emperor Kangxi requested it, he also wrote it down.
Emperor Kangxi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Wen Liang's calligraphy is pretty good, why don't you hide it, for fear that I will drag you to copy the book?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "It's far inferior to the emperor." Emperor Kangxi's calligraphy is not as good as everyone else's, but it is more than enough compared to Wen Liang's.He looked at the blue marks in Emperor Kangxi's eyes, and said after a while, "The emperor has not had a good rest these days."
Emperor Kangxi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "When Wen Liang can stop talking like this, I will be satisfied."
Wen Liang said indifferently, "When the emperor can cherish his body more, I will be satisfied."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "Yes, Wen Liang is always justified." Emperor Kangxi took Wen Liang to sit down for a while to rest, and before Liang Jiugong brought tea and water, a servant sent a memorial.
That was the final settlement of the Jiangnan fraud case that had been attracting much attention these days. After the joint responsibility of Jiuqing, Zhan Shi, and Ke Dao, Emperor Kangxi thought that there would be a final acceptable result.
Liang Jiugong asked people to go down to make tea, and personally brought the memorial to Emperor Kangxi.Wen Liang looked at the upper edge, subconsciously moved his eyes away.Zuo is just those conclusions, if they can be realistic and pertinent, everyone will be happy, if not...
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he threw away the memorial, waved his hand and smashed the table decorations, his face turned pale and furious!
Witnesses either committed suicide or died of illness in exile, but there is no evidence of Kari accepting bribes!The original verdict was upheld, Jiangnan inspectors blamed each other, and Zhang Boxing was dismissed from his post!
If Emperor Kangxi wanted to see such a situation, why did he need to travel thousands of miles to return the case to the capital for a new trial?What a waste of time!Zhang Boxing's repeated submissions are all sincere and sincere, and his words are all for the sake of the students and the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Kangxi has been emperor for so many years and has read countless memorials. He can still be sure of Zhang Boxing's character.
Wen Liang didn't need to read the contents of the memorial to know the current situation.There are three Shangshu lords and two governors and governors in front, who dares to offend them at will?Even the more powerful Jiuqing and others do not want to do this.
Upholding the original sentence would cause them trouble, but offending these people would do no good.They can only start with the doubts, so that the doubts are no longer doubts, and there is no way to rectify them right now.
Emperor Kangxi was really annoyed. He didn't know how much effort was spent from top to bottom to forge such a perfect testimony. However, Emperor Kangxi believed that Gali must be involved in it from the beginning.Zhang Boxing's testimony is vivid, and the anger of Jiangnan students cannot be suppressed. If they just act on this testimony, the hearts of students all over the world will be chilled!
"Warm and cool."
Emperor Kangxi didn't know how many times he thought about it before he said, "How much do you know about Gali?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "It is enough to punish the crime." Kangxi knew that Wen Liang had been watching the situation in Jiangnan, but he rarely interfered with it.
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "Is it before, or now?"
"Of course it happened before." Wen Liang's eyes fell on the door, Liang Jiugong just came in with tea, if Wen Liang just looked over, maybe Liang Jiugong wanted to wait outside the door, the emperor didn't look like that just now what a good thing.The scolding could be heard clearly from outside.
Wen Liang took the teacup, the warm touch came from his fingertips, the cigarette smoke drifted away, took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, and the anger that permeated the room just now gradually dissipated.
"I really don't know what to say about you." Emperor Kangxi's anger subsided a little, looked at the teacup in his hand, and sighed softly.He just asked about Gali's situation, and Wen Liang threw out this sentence directly. If Emperor Kangxi didn't accept this question, or if he didn't have the mentality of punishment at all, Wen Liang would suffer.
"Then the emperor won't say anything." Wen Liang looked down at the floating tea root, and said in a low voice, "I think that the love of Kari almost overwhelms the sky in the south of the Yangtze River. Witnesses died violently in prison, and some died in exile. This situation is difficult to verify, but the confession is still there, if we really investigate it carefully, there will be no results. If we don’t do it, we just don’t want to.”
"Did I ask you?" Emperor Kangxi glared at him.
Wen Liang took a sip, and the hot tea exuded sweetness, "Then the emperor's next words were intended to ask someone about this matter? If someone gets it wrong, please don't blame him."
Emperor Kangxi leaned against the back of his chair and glanced at Wen Liang, then shook his head helplessly, "That's true. Everyone in this court is like this. Looking at the big mountain ahead, they dare not climb it, and they are afraid of falling down in the mountain in the future. But everyone Everyone wants to become a big mountain, if you don’t knock down one or two, there will always be only so many positions, are they waiting for me to make room for them in person?”
How can there be such a good thing?Not only fearing the authority of Shangshu and others, but also fearing that the mountains are high and the road is far away, this kind of thinking made Emperor Kangxi extremely disappointed.It took dozens of days for the six ministries and nine ministers to get the results, and the imperial envoy went to Jiangnan to check the results for nearly a year, all of which are such nonsense!
Wen Liang said indifferently, "Everyone is selfish, this is a common thing. Even the courtiers, the emperor can't expect everyone to be as stubborn as Mr. Zhang Boxing, and not everyone is as cold-faced as the Lord. .”
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he didn't really hope for this situation.This is the case with Jiuqing and others, and he can only do it himself if he thinks about it.Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been the most important part of the imperial examination. Talented people come out in large numbers. If there is a big trouble here, it cannot be suppressed. Just like Zhang Boxing said, if the wind is long, how can the laws of the Qing Dynasty survive?
"Hey, Wen Liang, you mentioned the fourth child just now?" Emperor Kangxi seemed to have just discovered this matter, speculated twice, and looked at Wen Liang teasingly.
Wen Liang said calmly, "Could it be possible for the emperor to find someone who is more ruthless than the master?"
Emperor Kangxi thought of Yinzhen's ruthlessness in the matter of treasury and silver in the household department. Although he was ruthless, Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied.I don't know how many people came to look for Emperor Kangxi, but the more violent these people were, the more resentful and dissatisfied Emperor Kangxi felt. If these thoughts could be spent elsewhere, there would be fewer troubles caused.
"In terms of Wen Liang, is it okay for the fourth child to handle this matter?" Emperor Kangxi stroked his beard and suddenly had an idea.
Wen Liang glanced at Emperor Kangxi calmly, then lowered his eyebrows, "Long Live Lord shouldn't come to ask about this matter."
Emperor Kangxi frowned, "Why can't it be done? Could it be that Wen Liang still favoritism?" Unexpectedly, Wen Liang nodded calmly, and said calmly, "That's natural, I still live in the mansion. "
Emperor Kangxi was choked by Wen Liang's words for a moment, but after a while he thought about Wen Liang's situation again, "I have rewarded you with a house before, why are you still living in Yinzhen's mansion?"
"Someone is used to it." Wen Liang said, he has lived for these years, whether he is here or in other places, it seems that there is not much difference, if it continues like this, there seems to be nothing wrong.
Emperor Kangxi shook his head, he knew that Wen Liang didn't care about this, it was just a way of saving face, but most people in the world valued it.Even though Wen Liang has an official position right now, if he still stays in Prince Yong's mansion, he still wears the mark of Prince Yong's mansion on his body.Fortunately, since Emperor Kangxi disclosed Wen Liang's identity, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks in front of him.
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore." Emperor Kangxi waved his hand with a sense of vicissitudes, and then squeezed Wen Liang's shoulder, "In that case, you will take over this matter for the fourth child, don't worry about it again." Let me down." The memorial that Emperor Kangxi's eyes fell on the ground obviously meant something.
Wen Liang frowned, "The emperor should issue a decree, it's not normal to start with someone."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "Naturally it should be so, but you caused something for Yinzhen, so it's up to you to explain it to him."
Yinzhen really did not expect Wen Liang to bring him such a decree after entering the palace.The person who announced the decree was Liang Jiugong, but the person standing behind him was Wen Liang.After Liang Jiugong left, Wen Liang had to explain to Yinzhen how this matter fell on Yinzhen.
Yinzhen smiled when he heard the words, "Sir, did you already have a plan?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "It's just a casual mention, the emperor just listened to it."
Yinzhen's smile deepened, Wen Liang never did anything casual, if there were really anything that could be done without his reason, unless it was the same as Wen Liang's blunt and frank confession of his mind, there was almost no such thing.
Yinzhen's smile did not bring any confusion to Wen Liang.When Wen Liang and Yinzhen were alone together, Yinzhen was never stingy with smiles, Wen Liang liked the way Yinzhen's mouth curled up very much, it was very comfortable.
The matter passed from the hands of the Six Departments and Jiuqing to Yinzhen's hands silently. Emperor Kangxi did not scold him publicly, and he did not mention it at the court meeting. This made the officials involved in the matter even more restless.
It would be great if the emperor handed it over to anyone, but this person turned out to be Prince Yong!
Among the several ministers who went to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case these two times, two of them were Man and Han Shangshu from the Ministry of Household Affairs. They have not forgotten the ruthless measures Prince Yong used to rectify the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.They have all rotated again after the adjustment of the household department. They have experienced the solemnity of Prince Yong's refusal to enter, and no one wants to try it again.
After Yinzhen took over the matter and spent several days collecting evidence and clarifying the case, he resumed the trial in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.At that time, the officials of the six ministries were still there, and Prince Yong sat in the hall. Below were the past records of each department and the detained suspects.
Yinzhen listened to the opinions of all parties, cooperated with the evidence of previous witnesses, and the criminal evidence dug up along the way, and sentenced Gali to the crime in court.All the officials knew Yinzhen's way of doing things, but no matter how clear they were, they did not expect Prince Yong to make a judgment on this matter so swiftly, preventing them from using all their methods.What Jiuqing and others did was to put aside the doubts, while Yinzhen started with the doubts and quickly solved them one by one.
Zhang Penghe and Mu Helun looked at each other dismal. There was no room for maneuver in this matter.Naturally, they can continue to fight upwards, but Emperor Kangxi's decision to send Prince Yong is already clear, and they are extremely dissatisfied with the current situation.
The momentum is gone and cannot be stopped.
The next day, Emperor Kangxi listened to Yinzhen's report at the court. The two most critical issues in the case, one is about Kari and the other is about Zhang Boxing. The resolution of the two is the most important.When Emperor Kangxi decided that Gali was dismissed from his position as a listener, and Zhang Boxing was reinstated as an official, the faces of the people in the household department were pale.
It should be said that no matter who participated in the trial this time, it must have left a very bad impression in Emperor Kangxi's heart.Not to mention being promoted in the future, the current position may not be able to be kept.Sure enough, not long after, the Ministry of Household Affairs made another adjustment, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs fell one after another.
This case of imperial examination fraud broke the originally established circle of Jiangnan and Beijing. After another reshuffle, some people are happy and some are worried. This is needless to say.
On the day of Yinzhen's trial, Wen Liang originally planned to go with Yinzhen, but something happened suddenly that stopped Wen Liang's footsteps. Yinzhen sent a greeting card to Wen Liang, inviting Wen Liang to visit the house.
Yinzhen didn't stop Wen Liang, and Wen Liang also had a vague guess in his heart, so he also visited Jiubeile Mansion.
"What do you think sir?"
Yinzhen's banquet was naturally exquisite in every way. He was good at business and had a lot of money in his hands, so he never had to wrong himself in this regard.When Wen Liang walked in and smelled extremely expensive spices, he said softly, "Master Jiu shouldn't be so wanton."
Yinzhen leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him, her posture was free and easy, and she smiled wantonly, "Are you going to sue Huang Ama?"
Wen Liang said indifferently, "Maybe."
Yinzhen sneered, and watched Wen Liang sit down in front of him as if no one was around, "Mr. is really an interesting person."
Wen Liang glanced past the appearance in front of him, and said lightly, "I think Master Jiu is a happy person, why don't you tell me, what's going on today?"
Wen Liang likes the straightforward approach, but Yinzhen seems to plan to take it slowly.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on the banquet in front of him, and he shrugged, "Why don't you taste the noodles, sir, if you really start talking about something, wouldn't it be a waste of food?"
Wen Liang paused, deeply convinced, the two of them really sat opposite each other and ate food seriously, but they didn't talk much to each other.I don't know if Yinbi wanted to create a stable environment, or he didn't like being served, but no one was left in the house.
After a while, when Wen Liang stopped talking, Yinzhen said with a half-smile, "Sir, aren't you worried about me poisoning this food?"
Wen Liang looked at Yinzhen with clear black and white eyes, "Could it be that Master Jiu will?"
"...No." Yinzhen realized that he asked a silly question.
"Let's get down to business, Master Jiu can start talking now." Wen Liang said calmly, but he already had a reason in his mind.Perhaps it was for Yinhu.
The relationship between Yinzhen and Yinhu may not really be like brothers.The two were natural rivals, some things were indeed provoked by Yinhu first, but Yinzhen also caused Yinhu a lot of stumbling blocks in private, and the enmity between them became more and more profound.After Concubine De came out, Yinhu was relegated to common people again, so Yinzhen naturally had more ways to make plans.
As far as Wen Liang knew, Yinhu had indeed been tortured miserably.
But Wen Liang did not expect that Yinzhen didn't come here for this matter, he planned to cooperate with Wen Liang.
Wen Liang pursed her lips, "Master Jiu plans to cooperate with a certain person?"
Yinzhen has a straightforward and generous personality, and has a good relationship with Yinsi and Yin'e, so he frequently spends money on them, whether it is garden repairs or social contacts, these things are always paid by Yinzhen.However, Yinzhen has never been stingy with those who have a good personal relationship with him.On the surface, he appears to be an innocent person, but in fact he is not.
How can a person who is obsessed with business have no plans and let others slaughter him?
Yinzhen's idea was rejected by Wen Liang, who hadn't participated in these things for a long time.He was sure that Yinzhen's invitation this time was indeed private and had nothing to do with Yinzhen.However, precisely because of this, Wen Liang couldn't agree.
Yinzhen couldn't hide her disappointment, but she didn't say anything, and sent someone to stuff Wen Liang with a parting gift, and sent him away in a good voice.Before Yinzhen could take a breather, Yin'e, who got the news, rushed over to Yinzhen's mansion to inquire. That aggressive attitude also made Yinzhen a little anxious.
"Old Ten, tell me the truth. Over the years, what did my starling need and what did I fail to do? After all these years of relationship, is this how you are questioning me now?" Yinzhen glared angrily.
Yin'er's aura faded inexplicably, "Old Jiu, don't get excited..."
"Who's excited, I'm fine!" Yinzhen walked into the house with her hands behind her back, looking like she wanted to stuff Yin'er's head into the pond.
Yin'e cowardly followed Yinhu, and when she got inside the house, she looked at Yinhu eagerly, "Why did you find that Wen Liang?"
Yinzhen supported his chin with one hand and said, "Old Ten, do you think myna can rise again in the future?"
Yin'e was a little silent, the incident this time was too big, and they only found out about it after the fact.Now that Huang Ama knew, it was impossible no matter what.
Even the reckless Yin'er is very clear about this point.It's okay to do it in the palace, but if it is discovered, it will be really difficult to maneuver.
"The only thing that made Huang Ama keep the starling's life is that he doesn't know who did it right now." Yinzhen took a deep breath, for the sake of ambition to dominate, he also understands this kind of thing.However, myna not only left traces, but also did this kind of thing.
Yinzhen really didn't expect the starling to attack Concubine De, maybe he went too far on this road.
"Wait, you haven't explained the matter of Wen Liang clearly." Yin'e still remembered the matter of Wen Liang after a long time, and said dissatisfiedly.
"I just want to use his brain." Yinzhen said lazily leaning on the chair, the whole person looked very evil, and there was a little brilliance in the blink of an eye, "Why, do you want to help me do business? "
"No!" Yin'e shook her head again and again.
Yinzhen snorted and laughed, looking out of the window in a daze. He really wanted to pry into Yinzhen's intentions through Wen Liang, but he came here without letting Wen Liang go.In the case of the starling, Yinzhen naturally helps, but Yinzhen is in full swing, and he doesn't know how long he can last.
……
When the dust of the Jiangnan fraud case settled, it was already the autumn of the following year. Standing in the courtyard, Wen Liang felt that time was passing so fast, another year passed in the blink of an eye, and 52 years was just around the corner.Emperor Kangxi had already reserved Wenliang's seat for this year's annual banquet, and when he felt a little headache, he couldn't help it.
Emperor Kangxi became more casual, and it was the same with the Jiangnan case before. He originally planned to handle it by himself, but in a few words, he passed it to Yinzhen because of Wen Liang's words. Although it suited Wen Liang's intentions, this changing mind Unpredictable, difficult to guess.
Wen Liang breathed in the icy air, feeling that his lungs were being corroded by the coldness, and it took him a while to realize that his fingers were a little frozen.Wen Liang stretched her fingertips twice, and when she was about to turn around and enter the room, she saw Wen Liang meowing and running over, and then got stuck rolling in the snow, making her meow several times.
Wen Liang never learns how to be good, and can't remember how much hatred she has with Xue. She always gets stuck in the snow, forgets it in the blink of an eye afterwards, and subconsciously rushes towards the snow-white ground.
Wen Liang squatted down and picked up the big cat, letting her step on her shoulders along her arms. The cold paw pads stepped on the black plum blossom marks, leaving all kinds of strange marks on the clothes.He glanced at it half-heartedly, then pinched Wen Liang's flicking tail, "Don't move around."
This fat lump seriously blocked Wen Liang's line of sight, which was really not a good thing.
Wen Liang poked Wen Liang's soft butt with a blank expression, and then moved his gaze away. The big cat hugged Wen Liang's neck blankly, and looked for the "prisoner" on its stomach.After a long while without success, he was attracted by the warm earlobe again, and couldn't help stretching out his evil claws.
"Chopped."
Wen Liang grabbed the cushion without even looking at it.Wen Liang meowed several times in horror.
Luyi walked to Wen Liang's side, and took the big cat that Wen Liang handed over, "Take her inside to warm her up, the snow outside is too thick."
Luyi nodded, and left with the soft dumpling before the big cat could struggle.
Wen Liang stood under the porch for a few breaths, then decided to go to the bookstore to have a look.Ever since the court settled down, there has been no accident for a long time, or the elder brother who dared to make trouble almost fell silent.Thinking about it one or two, the elder brother in front was either imprisoned or demoted, and now there are only two surviving, namely Yinzhen and Yinqi.
Yinqi was brought up by the empress dowager, let alone Chinese, he is not very familiar with Manchu, but he is quite proficient in Mongolian.There has never been any rumors in the court, and the only thing left is Yinzhen.
This vague trace made the courtier finally learn to shut up, not to mention standing in line, but to worry about the immediate matter first.
The less things that the court needs to worry about, the more leisurely Wen Liang will be.Compared with the life of the previous few years, the warm and cool days now can be regarded as comfortable, perhaps he never thought of the current situation.
Wen Liang walked around the bookstore for a long time, picking out several favorite books.He has his own study in the study, and Wen Liang entered with the books in his arms. Before he started reading, he chose to hang his wrists to practice calligraphy.
Wen Liang has persisted in this habit for many years, but it is more durable than the habit of practicing boxing.After Wen Liang practiced for a quarter of an hour, he became more active and began to settle down and read a book.
Reading is a very good way to pass the time. When Yinzhen came to look for Wenliang, Wenliang came back to his senses. It turned out that it was already evening.
Yinzhen stood tall, just in front of the cool window, and joked, "If Mister continues to read, I may regret that I helped myself create an enemy for Mister."
Wen Liang glanced at Yinzhen thoughtfully, as if he had learned something from his joke, and then said, "Even if there is no bookstore, I can't just destroy the bookstore."
Yinzhen sighed, looking at Wen Liang who closed the book and stood up, "That's really difficult."
"The book is very good."
Wen Liang put the books back in their place, walked out and left side by side with Yinzhen, "There are always things I don't know."
Yinzhen slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Liang, "Sir, you like the feeling of the unknown?" Wen Liang nodded, looking at the snowflakes flying on both sides of the road, "I just like things I don't know." The more uncertain, The more interesting it becomes.
There is interest in Yinzhen's eyes, and Wen Liang is an endless book in his eyes, no matter which page is opened, there is always a different kind of surprise, and he will never get bored.
Ever since Yinzhen had a meal with Wenliang once, if he was in the mansion in the future, he would definitely come to find Wenliang, and he would come here in person when he was free. If it wasn't for Yinzhen who was always busy outside, there would be no leisure at all, and the small kitchen might be on strike completely.
Wen Liang accompanied Yinzhen to the study outside, looking at the house behind, suddenly thought of Honghui.After Honghui grew up, Yinzhen moved Honghui out of the outer study, but still stayed in the front yard.And Hong Shi who was beside Li Shi was also moved to the front yard by Yinzhen, and the inner yard was completely turned into a decoration.
But Wen Liang knew that Yinzhen entrusted all the people in the inner courtyard to Su Peisheng, and he never treated them badly every year.Ordinarily speaking, it is the most nourishing life in the elder brothers' residence.After Li's personality became softer, she never let them down, she wanted to play and have her own place, and she never restrained herself.
It is true that each has its own regrets, but it is also a choice.
Yin Zhen took Wen Liang's wrist and sat down, speaking softly, "What are you looking at, sir?"
Wen Liang said in a calm voice, "My father has a little few heirs."
Yinzhen blinked slowly, "Sir, are you planning to persuade me?" There are many staff members in Prince Yong's residence, and there are not a few subordinates who persuade Yinzhen to act like this.There is no official wife in the mansion, which always makes people feel strange, and Yinzhen only has two sons and two daughters under his knees, which is indeed a little less.
Wen Liang's dark eyes met Shang Yinzhen, and his voice became colder, "That's impossible." This started from joy, and the emotion stemming from jealousy was very strange, but Wen Liang didn't reject it, nor would he give in.
Yinzhen laughed lightly, and the tense emotions dissipated, "Since that's the case, I hope you can hold it tightly, but don't turn my head around, but it's the husband who let you go first." Yinzhen said half-truthfully, The appearance of raising eyebrows and smiling was very handsome, Wen Liang held Yinzhen's fingers with his backhand, and leaned over.
Yinzhen hugged Wenliang, and after the two of them had some shy things, they began to eat seriously.Except that one corner of the mouth was a little red and swollen, and the other was red at the corner of the eye, everything was normal.
In the 52nd year of Kangxi, when Emperor Kangxi's annual banquet was held, Wen Liang endured it for an hour, then slipped away to play chess with Emperor Kangxi, leaving Yinzhen to face the banquet alone.
Wen Liang's wrong decision cost him a little on New Year's Eve. Afterwards, he thought that his bed frame needed some polishing and was not very stable.
Yinzhen thinks so.
Emperor Kangxi lived in Changchun Garden after his death, and all his government affairs were sent there. Even the ministers needed to come to Changchun Garden if they wanted to talk to the emperor.Emperor Kangxi knew that his physical strength was gradually weakening, and he did not intend to continue going to the south of the Yangtze River.While firmly consolidating the emperor's power, Emperor Kangxi occasionally delegated power to let Yinzhen do things.
These are two diametrically opposed mentalities, and it's not incomprehensible.
Emperor Kangxi is gradually aging, and the princes such as Yinzhen are gradually growing up. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Emperor Kangxi. The older he is, the easier it is to seize power. Emperor Kangxi naturally has plans for such things and does not want to have accidents .However, rationality made Emperor Kangxi realize that this time was getting closer, which made Emperor Kangxi a little repetitive.
The person who suffered the most was Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong was the most favored servant around Emperor Kangxi, and he had followed Emperor Kangxi for many years.Liang Jiugong almost had an accident because of accepting bribes a few years ago, and was woken up by Wen Liang. Before Emperor Kangxi discovered everything, he cried bitterly. Although Emperor Kangxi scolded Liang Jiugong angrily, he also punished him. With the attitude of gently letting go, Liang Jiugong can still occupy his current position without the slightest wavering.
Emperor Kangxi could tolerate people around him accepting some bribes, which is something that cannot be prohibited at all.If the appetite is too big to be satisfied, then it is not allowed.Liang Jiugong stopped the loss in time, at least within Emperor Kangxi's tolerance.
In March of Yangchun, the capital warmed up early, with a little bit of early summer heat.In the Changchun Garden, Wen Liang looked at the weeping willows and the lake, ignoring the noisy sounds behind him.
"Sir, you can go with the slave, the emperor is waiting for you." Standing behind Lu Yi, a familiar servant begged Wen Liang, but Wen Liang didn't turn around, it was Lu Yi who stood up to dissuade him.
She smiled at Yan Yan, and said in a soft voice, "Long Live Lord is meeting with ministers right now, and you know about it. Your Majesty is keeping you for dinner, and he will go there in half an hour."
Wen Liang accompanied Emperor Kangxi to stay in Changchun Garden for a few days, and Liang Jiugong invited Wen Liang to put out the fire several times.Emperor Kangxi was indeed on fire these days, and Wen Liang was unwilling to participate in their affairs, so he withdrew after realizing it.
This little servant was sent by Liang Jiugong, with the attitude that if he can do it, he can do it, if he can't... he can only do it, Lu Yi took a lot of effort to send him back.
Lu Yi returned to stand behind Wen Liang, and said helplessly, "Sir, if this continues, it's not a good place to come here to rest."
Wen Liang glanced indifferently at the newly blooming flowers in the courtyard. The delicate petals attracted the love of bees, insects and butterflies, and their fluttering wings moved around the fragrant flowers, just like the previous portrait of Emperor Kangxi.
"Be careful."
It is indeed a good painting, but my mind is a little impetuous.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed in a bad mood, Wen Liang also noticed it a little bit, that depression did not happen in a day.Wen Liang motioned to Lu Yi, turned around and walked into the house. If necessary, he didn't shy away from talking to Emperor Kangxi, but right now Emperor Kangxi seemed to just want to relax, so Wen Liang didn't need to harass him with these things.
At dinner, Wen Liang ate something with Emperor Kangxi. Seeing that Wen Liang had resumed his previous appetite, Emperor Kangxi frowned and said, "Your body is the most important thing, don't mess around." Then he took the chopsticks with his own hands and gave Wen Liang A lot of things were caught.
Wen Liang lowered his head and glanced at the chicken, duck and fish on his rice bowl. It is said that the emperor personally served the food, which must be very highly valued, and he should be even more grateful for it.Naihe Wenliang looked at the hill with a rare sense of fear.
"Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your own health." Without showing any weakness, Wen Liang gave Emperor Kangxi more dishes, and in order to set an example, Emperor Kangxi ate them all.
Wen Liang also... had to eat it up.
The result of the father and son eating hazelnuts is that they are still digesting food at night when they are about to go to bed.Wen Liang seldom eats so much, and he still feels uncomfortable even now, but Emperor Kangxi is much better, imitating the common people and fanning himself with a cattail fan.
"Wen Liang, if you want to fight with others in the future, don't pick your weaknesses. This is purely to show your shame." Emperor Kangxi smiled triumphantly.
Wen Liang's stomach was too full to speak.
Wen Liang accompanied Emperor Kangxi to walk through the Changchun Garden once, and only half of Wen Liang's food disappeared. Then he walked around the courtyard again and wiped out the other half. Only then did he feel drowsy .
However, Emperor Kangxi's spirit seemed to be excited by this, and he didn't intend to sleep.Pulling Wen Liang to the study, pushing him to start playing chess.
Most of the night.
Grandpa doesn't sleep.
Playing chess in the study by candlelight.
Liang Jiugong drove out all the guards inside with a blank face. If one of the two inside was not the emperor and the other was not Mr. Wen, this scene would not look so strange.
Who would have thought?
Liang Jiugong laughed a few times in his heart, then restrained his expression and waited.Even the gentleman who should be advised is inside, so he should just stay outside.
Emperor Kangxi was in a good mood, and he pulled Wen Liang to look at the calligraphy he wrote a few days ago. Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of being overjoyed, and he didn't mind others saying something good or bad.Wen Liang always said one thing and another, and Emperor Kangxi couldn't stop nodding, and even dragged Wen Liang to write and paint for a long time.
Wen Liang is not familiar with painting, but he often practice calligraphy.Since Emperor Kangxi requested it, he also wrote it down.
Emperor Kangxi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Wen Liang's calligraphy is pretty good, why don't you hide it, for fear that I will drag you to copy the book?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "It's far inferior to the emperor." Emperor Kangxi's calligraphy is not as good as everyone else's, but it is more than enough compared to Wen Liang's.He looked at the blue marks in Emperor Kangxi's eyes, and said after a while, "The emperor has not had a good rest these days."
Emperor Kangxi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "When Wen Liang can stop talking like this, I will be satisfied."
Wen Liang said indifferently, "When the emperor can cherish his body more, I will be satisfied."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "Yes, Wen Liang is always justified." Emperor Kangxi took Wen Liang to sit down for a while to rest, and before Liang Jiugong brought tea and water, a servant sent a memorial.
That was the final settlement of the Jiangnan fraud case that had been attracting much attention these days. After the joint responsibility of Jiuqing, Zhan Shi, and Ke Dao, Emperor Kangxi thought that there would be a final acceptable result.
Liang Jiugong asked people to go down to make tea, and personally brought the memorial to Emperor Kangxi.Wen Liang looked at the upper edge, subconsciously moved his eyes away.Zuo is just those conclusions, if they can be realistic and pertinent, everyone will be happy, if not...
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
Emperor Kangxi was so angry that he threw away the memorial, waved his hand and smashed the table decorations, his face turned pale and furious!
Witnesses either committed suicide or died of illness in exile, but there is no evidence of Kari accepting bribes!The original verdict was upheld, Jiangnan inspectors blamed each other, and Zhang Boxing was dismissed from his post!
If Emperor Kangxi wanted to see such a situation, why did he need to travel thousands of miles to return the case to the capital for a new trial?What a waste of time!Zhang Boxing's repeated submissions are all sincere and sincere, and his words are all for the sake of the students and the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Kangxi has been emperor for so many years and has read countless memorials. He can still be sure of Zhang Boxing's character.
Wen Liang didn't need to read the contents of the memorial to know the current situation.There are three Shangshu lords and two governors and governors in front, who dares to offend them at will?Even the more powerful Jiuqing and others do not want to do this.
Upholding the original sentence would cause them trouble, but offending these people would do no good.They can only start with the doubts, so that the doubts are no longer doubts, and there is no way to rectify them right now.
Emperor Kangxi was really annoyed. He didn't know how much effort was spent from top to bottom to forge such a perfect testimony. However, Emperor Kangxi believed that Gali must be involved in it from the beginning.Zhang Boxing's testimony is vivid, and the anger of Jiangnan students cannot be suppressed. If they just act on this testimony, the hearts of students all over the world will be chilled!
"Warm and cool."
Emperor Kangxi didn't know how many times he thought about it before he said, "How much do you know about Gali?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "It is enough to punish the crime." Kangxi knew that Wen Liang had been watching the situation in Jiangnan, but he rarely interfered with it.
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "Is it before, or now?"
"Of course it happened before." Wen Liang's eyes fell on the door, Liang Jiugong just came in with tea, if Wen Liang just looked over, maybe Liang Jiugong wanted to wait outside the door, the emperor didn't look like that just now what a good thing.The scolding could be heard clearly from outside.
Wen Liang took the teacup, the warm touch came from his fingertips, the cigarette smoke drifted away, took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, and the anger that permeated the room just now gradually dissipated.
"I really don't know what to say about you." Emperor Kangxi's anger subsided a little, looked at the teacup in his hand, and sighed softly.He just asked about Gali's situation, and Wen Liang threw out this sentence directly. If Emperor Kangxi didn't accept this question, or if he didn't have the mentality of punishment at all, Wen Liang would suffer.
"Then the emperor won't say anything." Wen Liang looked down at the floating tea root, and said in a low voice, "I think that the love of Kari almost overwhelms the sky in the south of the Yangtze River. Witnesses died violently in prison, and some died in exile. This situation is difficult to verify, but the confession is still there, if we really investigate it carefully, there will be no results. If we don’t do it, we just don’t want to.”
"Did I ask you?" Emperor Kangxi glared at him.
Wen Liang took a sip, and the hot tea exuded sweetness, "Then the emperor's next words were intended to ask someone about this matter? If someone gets it wrong, please don't blame him."
Emperor Kangxi leaned against the back of his chair and glanced at Wen Liang, then shook his head helplessly, "That's true. Everyone in this court is like this. Looking at the big mountain ahead, they dare not climb it, and they are afraid of falling down in the mountain in the future. But everyone Everyone wants to become a big mountain, if you don’t knock down one or two, there will always be only so many positions, are they waiting for me to make room for them in person?”
How can there be such a good thing?Not only fearing the authority of Shangshu and others, but also fearing that the mountains are high and the road is far away, this kind of thinking made Emperor Kangxi extremely disappointed.It took dozens of days for the six ministries and nine ministers to get the results, and the imperial envoy went to Jiangnan to check the results for nearly a year, all of which are such nonsense!
Wen Liang said indifferently, "Everyone is selfish, this is a common thing. Even the courtiers, the emperor can't expect everyone to be as stubborn as Mr. Zhang Boxing, and not everyone is as cold-faced as the Lord. .”
Emperor Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he didn't really hope for this situation.This is the case with Jiuqing and others, and he can only do it himself if he thinks about it.Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been the most important part of the imperial examination. Talented people come out in large numbers. If there is a big trouble here, it cannot be suppressed. Just like Zhang Boxing said, if the wind is long, how can the laws of the Qing Dynasty survive?
"Hey, Wen Liang, you mentioned the fourth child just now?" Emperor Kangxi seemed to have just discovered this matter, speculated twice, and looked at Wen Liang teasingly.
Wen Liang said calmly, "Could it be possible for the emperor to find someone who is more ruthless than the master?"
Emperor Kangxi thought of Yinzhen's ruthlessness in the matter of treasury and silver in the household department. Although he was ruthless, Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied.I don't know how many people came to look for Emperor Kangxi, but the more violent these people were, the more resentful and dissatisfied Emperor Kangxi felt. If these thoughts could be spent elsewhere, there would be fewer troubles caused.
"In terms of Wen Liang, is it okay for the fourth child to handle this matter?" Emperor Kangxi stroked his beard and suddenly had an idea.
Wen Liang glanced at Emperor Kangxi calmly, then lowered his eyebrows, "Long Live Lord shouldn't come to ask about this matter."
Emperor Kangxi frowned, "Why can't it be done? Could it be that Wen Liang still favoritism?" Unexpectedly, Wen Liang nodded calmly, and said calmly, "That's natural, I still live in the mansion. "
Emperor Kangxi was choked by Wen Liang's words for a moment, but after a while he thought about Wen Liang's situation again, "I have rewarded you with a house before, why are you still living in Yinzhen's mansion?"
"Someone is used to it." Wen Liang said, he has lived for these years, whether he is here or in other places, it seems that there is not much difference, if it continues like this, there seems to be nothing wrong.
Emperor Kangxi shook his head, he knew that Wen Liang didn't care about this, it was just a way of saving face, but most people in the world valued it.Even though Wen Liang has an official position right now, if he still stays in Prince Yong's mansion, he still wears the mark of Prince Yong's mansion on his body.Fortunately, since Emperor Kangxi disclosed Wen Liang's identity, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks in front of him.
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore." Emperor Kangxi waved his hand with a sense of vicissitudes, and then squeezed Wen Liang's shoulder, "In that case, you will take over this matter for the fourth child, don't worry about it again." Let me down." The memorial that Emperor Kangxi's eyes fell on the ground obviously meant something.
Wen Liang frowned, "The emperor should issue a decree, it's not normal to start with someone."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and said, "Naturally it should be so, but you caused something for Yinzhen, so it's up to you to explain it to him."
Yinzhen really did not expect Wen Liang to bring him such a decree after entering the palace.The person who announced the decree was Liang Jiugong, but the person standing behind him was Wen Liang.After Liang Jiugong left, Wen Liang had to explain to Yinzhen how this matter fell on Yinzhen.
Yinzhen smiled when he heard the words, "Sir, did you already have a plan?"
Wen Liang said calmly, "It's just a casual mention, the emperor just listened to it."
Yinzhen's smile deepened, Wen Liang never did anything casual, if there were really anything that could be done without his reason, unless it was the same as Wen Liang's blunt and frank confession of his mind, there was almost no such thing.
Yinzhen's smile did not bring any confusion to Wen Liang.When Wen Liang and Yinzhen were alone together, Yinzhen was never stingy with smiles, Wen Liang liked the way Yinzhen's mouth curled up very much, it was very comfortable.
The matter passed from the hands of the Six Departments and Jiuqing to Yinzhen's hands silently. Emperor Kangxi did not scold him publicly, and he did not mention it at the court meeting. This made the officials involved in the matter even more restless.
It would be great if the emperor handed it over to anyone, but this person turned out to be Prince Yong!
Among the several ministers who went to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case these two times, two of them were Man and Han Shangshu from the Ministry of Household Affairs. They have not forgotten the ruthless measures Prince Yong used to rectify the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.They have all rotated again after the adjustment of the household department. They have experienced the solemnity of Prince Yong's refusal to enter, and no one wants to try it again.
After Yinzhen took over the matter and spent several days collecting evidence and clarifying the case, he resumed the trial in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.At that time, the officials of the six ministries were still there, and Prince Yong sat in the hall. Below were the past records of each department and the detained suspects.
Yinzhen listened to the opinions of all parties, cooperated with the evidence of previous witnesses, and the criminal evidence dug up along the way, and sentenced Gali to the crime in court.All the officials knew Yinzhen's way of doing things, but no matter how clear they were, they did not expect Prince Yong to make a judgment on this matter so swiftly, preventing them from using all their methods.What Jiuqing and others did was to put aside the doubts, while Yinzhen started with the doubts and quickly solved them one by one.
Zhang Penghe and Mu Helun looked at each other dismal. There was no room for maneuver in this matter.Naturally, they can continue to fight upwards, but Emperor Kangxi's decision to send Prince Yong is already clear, and they are extremely dissatisfied with the current situation.
The momentum is gone and cannot be stopped.
The next day, Emperor Kangxi listened to Yinzhen's report at the court. The two most critical issues in the case, one is about Kari and the other is about Zhang Boxing. The resolution of the two is the most important.When Emperor Kangxi decided that Gali was dismissed from his position as a listener, and Zhang Boxing was reinstated as an official, the faces of the people in the household department were pale.
It should be said that no matter who participated in the trial this time, it must have left a very bad impression in Emperor Kangxi's heart.Not to mention being promoted in the future, the current position may not be able to be kept.Sure enough, not long after, the Ministry of Household Affairs made another adjustment, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs fell one after another.
This case of imperial examination fraud broke the originally established circle of Jiangnan and Beijing. After another reshuffle, some people are happy and some are worried. This is needless to say.
On the day of Yinzhen's trial, Wen Liang originally planned to go with Yinzhen, but something happened suddenly that stopped Wen Liang's footsteps. Yinzhen sent a greeting card to Wen Liang, inviting Wen Liang to visit the house.
Yinzhen didn't stop Wen Liang, and Wen Liang also had a vague guess in his heart, so he also visited Jiubeile Mansion.
"What do you think sir?"
Yinzhen's banquet was naturally exquisite in every way. He was good at business and had a lot of money in his hands, so he never had to wrong himself in this regard.When Wen Liang walked in and smelled extremely expensive spices, he said softly, "Master Jiu shouldn't be so wanton."
Yinzhen leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him, her posture was free and easy, and she smiled wantonly, "Are you going to sue Huang Ama?"
Wen Liang said indifferently, "Maybe."
Yinzhen sneered, and watched Wen Liang sit down in front of him as if no one was around, "Mr. is really an interesting person."
Wen Liang glanced past the appearance in front of him, and said lightly, "I think Master Jiu is a happy person, why don't you tell me, what's going on today?"
Wen Liang likes the straightforward approach, but Yinzhen seems to plan to take it slowly.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on the banquet in front of him, and he shrugged, "Why don't you taste the noodles, sir, if you really start talking about something, wouldn't it be a waste of food?"
Wen Liang paused, deeply convinced, the two of them really sat opposite each other and ate food seriously, but they didn't talk much to each other.I don't know if Yinbi wanted to create a stable environment, or he didn't like being served, but no one was left in the house.
After a while, when Wen Liang stopped talking, Yinzhen said with a half-smile, "Sir, aren't you worried about me poisoning this food?"
Wen Liang looked at Yinzhen with clear black and white eyes, "Could it be that Master Jiu will?"
"...No." Yinzhen realized that he asked a silly question.
"Let's get down to business, Master Jiu can start talking now." Wen Liang said calmly, but he already had a reason in his mind.Perhaps it was for Yinhu.
The relationship between Yinzhen and Yinhu may not really be like brothers.The two were natural rivals, some things were indeed provoked by Yinhu first, but Yinzhen also caused Yinhu a lot of stumbling blocks in private, and the enmity between them became more and more profound.After Concubine De came out, Yinhu was relegated to common people again, so Yinzhen naturally had more ways to make plans.
As far as Wen Liang knew, Yinhu had indeed been tortured miserably.
But Wen Liang did not expect that Yinzhen didn't come here for this matter, he planned to cooperate with Wen Liang.
Wen Liang pursed her lips, "Master Jiu plans to cooperate with a certain person?"
Yinzhen has a straightforward and generous personality, and has a good relationship with Yinsi and Yin'e, so he frequently spends money on them, whether it is garden repairs or social contacts, these things are always paid by Yinzhen.However, Yinzhen has never been stingy with those who have a good personal relationship with him.On the surface, he appears to be an innocent person, but in fact he is not.
How can a person who is obsessed with business have no plans and let others slaughter him?
Yinzhen's idea was rejected by Wen Liang, who hadn't participated in these things for a long time.He was sure that Yinzhen's invitation this time was indeed private and had nothing to do with Yinzhen.However, precisely because of this, Wen Liang couldn't agree.
Yinzhen couldn't hide her disappointment, but she didn't say anything, and sent someone to stuff Wen Liang with a parting gift, and sent him away in a good voice.Before Yinzhen could take a breather, Yin'e, who got the news, rushed over to Yinzhen's mansion to inquire. That aggressive attitude also made Yinzhen a little anxious.
"Old Ten, tell me the truth. Over the years, what did my starling need and what did I fail to do? After all these years of relationship, is this how you are questioning me now?" Yinzhen glared angrily.
Yin'er's aura faded inexplicably, "Old Jiu, don't get excited..."
"Who's excited, I'm fine!" Yinzhen walked into the house with her hands behind her back, looking like she wanted to stuff Yin'er's head into the pond.
Yin'e cowardly followed Yinhu, and when she got inside the house, she looked at Yinhu eagerly, "Why did you find that Wen Liang?"
Yinzhen supported his chin with one hand and said, "Old Ten, do you think myna can rise again in the future?"
Yin'e was a little silent, the incident this time was too big, and they only found out about it after the fact.Now that Huang Ama knew, it was impossible no matter what.
Even the reckless Yin'er is very clear about this point.It's okay to do it in the palace, but if it is discovered, it will be really difficult to maneuver.
"The only thing that made Huang Ama keep the starling's life is that he doesn't know who did it right now." Yinzhen took a deep breath, for the sake of ambition to dominate, he also understands this kind of thing.However, myna not only left traces, but also did this kind of thing.
Yinzhen really didn't expect the starling to attack Concubine De, maybe he went too far on this road.
"Wait, you haven't explained the matter of Wen Liang clearly." Yin'e still remembered the matter of Wen Liang after a long time, and said dissatisfiedly.
"I just want to use his brain." Yinzhen said lazily leaning on the chair, the whole person looked very evil, and there was a little brilliance in the blink of an eye, "Why, do you want to help me do business? "
"No!" Yin'e shook her head again and again.
Yinzhen snorted and laughed, looking out of the window in a daze. He really wanted to pry into Yinzhen's intentions through Wen Liang, but he came here without letting Wen Liang go.In the case of the starling, Yinzhen naturally helps, but Yinzhen is in full swing, and he doesn't know how long he can last.
……
When the dust of the Jiangnan fraud case settled, it was already the autumn of the following year. Standing in the courtyard, Wen Liang felt that time was passing so fast, another year passed in the blink of an eye, and 52 years was just around the corner.Emperor Kangxi had already reserved Wenliang's seat for this year's annual banquet, and when he felt a little headache, he couldn't help it.
Emperor Kangxi became more casual, and it was the same with the Jiangnan case before. He originally planned to handle it by himself, but in a few words, he passed it to Yinzhen because of Wen Liang's words. Although it suited Wen Liang's intentions, this changing mind Unpredictable, difficult to guess.
Wen Liang breathed in the icy air, feeling that his lungs were being corroded by the coldness, and it took him a while to realize that his fingers were a little frozen.Wen Liang stretched her fingertips twice, and when she was about to turn around and enter the room, she saw Wen Liang meowing and running over, and then got stuck rolling in the snow, making her meow several times.
Wen Liang never learns how to be good, and can't remember how much hatred she has with Xue. She always gets stuck in the snow, forgets it in the blink of an eye afterwards, and subconsciously rushes towards the snow-white ground.
Wen Liang squatted down and picked up the big cat, letting her step on her shoulders along her arms. The cold paw pads stepped on the black plum blossom marks, leaving all kinds of strange marks on the clothes.He glanced at it half-heartedly, then pinched Wen Liang's flicking tail, "Don't move around."
This fat lump seriously blocked Wen Liang's line of sight, which was really not a good thing.
Wen Liang poked Wen Liang's soft butt with a blank expression, and then moved his gaze away. The big cat hugged Wen Liang's neck blankly, and looked for the "prisoner" on its stomach.After a long while without success, he was attracted by the warm earlobe again, and couldn't help stretching out his evil claws.
"Chopped."
Wen Liang grabbed the cushion without even looking at it.Wen Liang meowed several times in horror.
Luyi walked to Wen Liang's side, and took the big cat that Wen Liang handed over, "Take her inside to warm her up, the snow outside is too thick."
Luyi nodded, and left with the soft dumpling before the big cat could struggle.
Wen Liang stood under the porch for a few breaths, then decided to go to the bookstore to have a look.Ever since the court settled down, there has been no accident for a long time, or the elder brother who dared to make trouble almost fell silent.Thinking about it one or two, the elder brother in front was either imprisoned or demoted, and now there are only two surviving, namely Yinzhen and Yinqi.
Yinqi was brought up by the empress dowager, let alone Chinese, he is not very familiar with Manchu, but he is quite proficient in Mongolian.There has never been any rumors in the court, and the only thing left is Yinzhen.
This vague trace made the courtier finally learn to shut up, not to mention standing in line, but to worry about the immediate matter first.
The less things that the court needs to worry about, the more leisurely Wen Liang will be.Compared with the life of the previous few years, the warm and cool days now can be regarded as comfortable, perhaps he never thought of the current situation.
Wen Liang walked around the bookstore for a long time, picking out several favorite books.He has his own study in the study, and Wen Liang entered with the books in his arms. Before he started reading, he chose to hang his wrists to practice calligraphy.
Wen Liang has persisted in this habit for many years, but it is more durable than the habit of practicing boxing.After Wen Liang practiced for a quarter of an hour, he became more active and began to settle down and read a book.
Reading is a very good way to pass the time. When Yinzhen came to look for Wenliang, Wenliang came back to his senses. It turned out that it was already evening.
Yinzhen stood tall, just in front of the cool window, and joked, "If Mister continues to read, I may regret that I helped myself create an enemy for Mister."
Wen Liang glanced at Yinzhen thoughtfully, as if he had learned something from his joke, and then said, "Even if there is no bookstore, I can't just destroy the bookstore."
Yinzhen sighed, looking at Wen Liang who closed the book and stood up, "That's really difficult."
"The book is very good."
Wen Liang put the books back in their place, walked out and left side by side with Yinzhen, "There are always things I don't know."
Yinzhen slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Liang, "Sir, you like the feeling of the unknown?" Wen Liang nodded, looking at the snowflakes flying on both sides of the road, "I just like things I don't know." The more uncertain, The more interesting it becomes.
There is interest in Yinzhen's eyes, and Wen Liang is an endless book in his eyes, no matter which page is opened, there is always a different kind of surprise, and he will never get bored.
Ever since Yinzhen had a meal with Wenliang once, if he was in the mansion in the future, he would definitely come to find Wenliang, and he would come here in person when he was free. If it wasn't for Yinzhen who was always busy outside, there would be no leisure at all, and the small kitchen might be on strike completely.
Wen Liang accompanied Yinzhen to the study outside, looking at the house behind, suddenly thought of Honghui.After Honghui grew up, Yinzhen moved Honghui out of the outer study, but still stayed in the front yard.And Hong Shi who was beside Li Shi was also moved to the front yard by Yinzhen, and the inner yard was completely turned into a decoration.
But Wen Liang knew that Yinzhen entrusted all the people in the inner courtyard to Su Peisheng, and he never treated them badly every year.Ordinarily speaking, it is the most nourishing life in the elder brothers' residence.After Li's personality became softer, she never let them down, she wanted to play and have her own place, and she never restrained herself.
It is true that each has its own regrets, but it is also a choice.
Yin Zhen took Wen Liang's wrist and sat down, speaking softly, "What are you looking at, sir?"
Wen Liang said in a calm voice, "My father has a little few heirs."
Yinzhen blinked slowly, "Sir, are you planning to persuade me?" There are many staff members in Prince Yong's residence, and there are not a few subordinates who persuade Yinzhen to act like this.There is no official wife in the mansion, which always makes people feel strange, and Yinzhen only has two sons and two daughters under his knees, which is indeed a little less.
Wen Liang's dark eyes met Shang Yinzhen, and his voice became colder, "That's impossible." This started from joy, and the emotion stemming from jealousy was very strange, but Wen Liang didn't reject it, nor would he give in.
Yinzhen laughed lightly, and the tense emotions dissipated, "Since that's the case, I hope you can hold it tightly, but don't turn my head around, but it's the husband who let you go first." Yinzhen said half-truthfully, The appearance of raising eyebrows and smiling was very handsome, Wen Liang held Yinzhen's fingers with his backhand, and leaned over.
Yinzhen hugged Wenliang, and after the two of them had some shy things, they began to eat seriously.Except that one corner of the mouth was a little red and swollen, and the other was red at the corner of the eye, everything was normal.
In the 52nd year of Kangxi, when Emperor Kangxi's annual banquet was held, Wen Liang endured it for an hour, then slipped away to play chess with Emperor Kangxi, leaving Yinzhen to face the banquet alone.
Wen Liang's wrong decision cost him a little on New Year's Eve. Afterwards, he thought that his bed frame needed some polishing and was not very stable.
Yinzhen thinks so.
Emperor Kangxi lived in Changchun Garden after his death, and all his government affairs were sent there. Even the ministers needed to come to Changchun Garden if they wanted to talk to the emperor.Emperor Kangxi knew that his physical strength was gradually weakening, and he did not intend to continue going to the south of the Yangtze River.While firmly consolidating the emperor's power, Emperor Kangxi occasionally delegated power to let Yinzhen do things.
These are two diametrically opposed mentalities, and it's not incomprehensible.
Emperor Kangxi is gradually aging, and the princes such as Yinzhen are gradually growing up. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Emperor Kangxi. The older he is, the easier it is to seize power. Emperor Kangxi naturally has plans for such things and does not want to have accidents .However, rationality made Emperor Kangxi realize that this time was getting closer, which made Emperor Kangxi a little repetitive.
The person who suffered the most was Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong was the most favored servant around Emperor Kangxi, and he had followed Emperor Kangxi for many years.Liang Jiugong almost had an accident because of accepting bribes a few years ago, and was woken up by Wen Liang. Before Emperor Kangxi discovered everything, he cried bitterly. Although Emperor Kangxi scolded Liang Jiugong angrily, he also punished him. With the attitude of gently letting go, Liang Jiugong can still occupy his current position without the slightest wavering.
Emperor Kangxi could tolerate people around him accepting some bribes, which is something that cannot be prohibited at all.If the appetite is too big to be satisfied, then it is not allowed.Liang Jiugong stopped the loss in time, at least within Emperor Kangxi's tolerance.
In March of Yangchun, the capital warmed up early, with a little bit of early summer heat.In the Changchun Garden, Wen Liang looked at the weeping willows and the lake, ignoring the noisy sounds behind him.
"Sir, you can go with the slave, the emperor is waiting for you." Standing behind Lu Yi, a familiar servant begged Wen Liang, but Wen Liang didn't turn around, it was Lu Yi who stood up to dissuade him.
She smiled at Yan Yan, and said in a soft voice, "Long Live Lord is meeting with ministers right now, and you know about it. Your Majesty is keeping you for dinner, and he will go there in half an hour."
Wen Liang accompanied Emperor Kangxi to stay in Changchun Garden for a few days, and Liang Jiugong invited Wen Liang to put out the fire several times.Emperor Kangxi was indeed on fire these days, and Wen Liang was unwilling to participate in their affairs, so he withdrew after realizing it.
This little servant was sent by Liang Jiugong, with the attitude that if he can do it, he can do it, if he can't... he can only do it, Lu Yi took a lot of effort to send him back.
Lu Yi returned to stand behind Wen Liang, and said helplessly, "Sir, if this continues, it's not a good place to come here to rest."
Wen Liang glanced indifferently at the newly blooming flowers in the courtyard. The delicate petals attracted the love of bees, insects and butterflies, and their fluttering wings moved around the fragrant flowers, just like the previous portrait of Emperor Kangxi.
"Be careful."
It is indeed a good painting, but my mind is a little impetuous.
Emperor Kangxi was indeed in a bad mood, Wen Liang also noticed it a little bit, that depression did not happen in a day.Wen Liang motioned to Lu Yi, turned around and walked into the house. If necessary, he didn't shy away from talking to Emperor Kangxi, but right now Emperor Kangxi seemed to just want to relax, so Wen Liang didn't need to harass him with these things.
At dinner, Wen Liang ate something with Emperor Kangxi. Seeing that Wen Liang had resumed his previous appetite, Emperor Kangxi frowned and said, "Your body is the most important thing, don't mess around." Then he took the chopsticks with his own hands and gave Wen Liang A lot of things were caught.
Wen Liang lowered his head and glanced at the chicken, duck and fish on his rice bowl. It is said that the emperor personally served the food, which must be very highly valued, and he should be even more grateful for it.Naihe Wenliang looked at the hill with a rare sense of fear.
"Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your own health." Without showing any weakness, Wen Liang gave Emperor Kangxi more dishes, and in order to set an example, Emperor Kangxi ate them all.
Wen Liang also... had to eat it up.
The result of the father and son eating hazelnuts is that they are still digesting food at night when they are about to go to bed.Wen Liang seldom eats so much, and he still feels uncomfortable even now, but Emperor Kangxi is much better, imitating the common people and fanning himself with a cattail fan.
"Wen Liang, if you want to fight with others in the future, don't pick your weaknesses. This is purely to show your shame." Emperor Kangxi smiled triumphantly.
Wen Liang's stomach was too full to speak.
Wen Liang accompanied Emperor Kangxi to walk through the Changchun Garden once, and only half of Wen Liang's food disappeared. Then he walked around the courtyard again and wiped out the other half. Only then did he feel drowsy .
However, Emperor Kangxi's spirit seemed to be excited by this, and he didn't intend to sleep.Pulling Wen Liang to the study, pushing him to start playing chess.
Most of the night.
Grandpa doesn't sleep.
Playing chess in the study by candlelight.
Liang Jiugong drove out all the guards inside with a blank face. If one of the two inside was not the emperor and the other was not Mr. Wen, this scene would not look so strange.
Who would have thought?
Liang Jiugong laughed a few times in his heart, then restrained his expression and waited.Even the gentleman who should be advised is inside, so he should just stay outside.
